New Prehistoric Strings Library

The Crow Hill Company and Bleeding Fingers present PREHISTORIC STRINGS as unique string library built from bespoke instruments.

PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT

Putting PREHISTORIC STRINGS into its rightful perspective involves delving deep into the past in more ways than one — not least The Crow Hill Company’s ongoing relationship with its collective friends at Bleeding Fingers. For it all started when the latter’s talented Anže Rozman and Kara Talve worked with Hollywood hotshot Hans Zimmer — arguably one of the greatest, certainly one of the most prolific film composers of our time, noted for his innovative integration of electronic sounds with traditional orchestral arrangements — on the primetime television series Prehistoric Planet (2022-2025). As always with both Bleeding Fingers’ and Hans Zimmer’s approach to composition, the creation of truly unique sound-worlds played a fundamental role in the development of said score. An audacious project, indeed, it involved the construction of a selection of string instruments built with bones, horns, skulls, and cannibalised classical instruments, including a cello, frame drum, resonating dulcimer, and many more besides. But credit where credit’s due to the killer composing team involved in instinctively understanding that the resulting score’s success merely represented the tip of the iceberg in terms of the potential of their unique inventions and agreeing to share them with the rest of the composing community.

PREHISTORIC STRINGS is available at an attractive introductory promo price of £75.00 GBP until 23:59 BST (British Summer Time) on October 19, 2025 — rising thereafter to its regular price of £99.00 GBP — as an AAX-, AU-, VST-, and VST3-format-compatible sample-based virtual instrument plug-in — comprising 53 GB of uncompressed material (compressed losslessly to 24.7 GB) that loads directly into a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) — from The Crow Hill Company here: https://thecrowhillcompany.com/explore/prehistoric-strings/
